| Could someone help me identify these coins?
Hello, I'm Kiera... a few weeks ago we were looking trough my greatgrandmother possesions which included a wood box filled with coins. As I went trough it I found two coins wich I could not identify:
Coin #1:
Appers to be brittish, its silvery in color. I looked up the legend that reads "VICTORIA DEI GRATIA BRITANNIA REG FD." and there is a a face of a woman. On the other side of the coin if I remember correctly the legend that reads is "PRINCE OF WALES HAI SOVN" or something really similar to that (sorry, I don't have the coin with me right now); on that side it appears a crown like figure, with what appears to be a cross at the top, in the center of the crown there are three enlongated curved shapes (try to think in a bean form or kind of a deformed rain drop). Yet I can't find any year on it nor any other sort of number...
Is this an actual coin or just some random token?
Coin #2:
I managed to read up "1/4 the Real Peso" (mexican pesos), yet the year it belongs to it either erased or hidden under a lot of dirt, could someone help me on how to pinpoint the year it was made. The coins appears to be cooper, and for what I found out in my National Bank it could be from 1788 to 1821
Thank you very much, Kiera
